MEETS MONDAY

Conversation and Business Correspondence Will Give Course
Great Commercial Value

Qfbwd Is Expected
The Spanish Club will meet
next Monday in Mr. Mueller's
room (16), at 2:30. Last year
they had fifteen members all of
whom were very enthusiastic.
This year many of the old members of the club have signified
there intention of rejoining and
Mr. Mueller is very optimistic.
The beginners will also have a
chance starting out with "Wer-
mers First Book In Spanish."
However if enough pupils do not
come out this class will be dispensed with. Everyone should
be interested in Spanish as our
commercial relations with Mexico
and South America are becoming
more important all the time.
Business correspondence will
be taken up and this will help
make the club very beneficial
from the commercial standpoint.
Latter conversation will be attempted and, if our embryo
Spaniards make the same number of mistakes, which the average
beginning linguist makes, the
results will be laughable to say
the least.
Germany has seen the commercial possibilities of South America
and is fast taking advantage of
them, consequently our eastern
merchants are redoubling their
efforts in that field. There is a
demand for men who can speak
Spanish and Portuguese and with
the start received here in this
Spanish Club any boy ought to
be well on the way toward a
partial mastery of the tongue.
Pauline Troyer has been wondering if there isn't some way to
let people know that she is a
senior?
Radical Endsley got twisted in
her Latin recitation. She translated a word as lofty rivers in
one place and deep mountains in
the other.
You get all kinds of laughter
from Susquehana street. Silvery
peals mingle with loud haw-haws.
If freshmen want to be taken
for seniors they should just get a
big book like Dorothy Ketcham
does in the study hall and pre-
The Cross-Country Club meets
tonight out at James Hasselman's
at 34th and Central. Cross over
to Alabama, catch a Central car
and come out. A large crowd
expected and a good time
promised everybody The Hasselman Place was chosen because it
is so near the school, it has good
roads in the neighborhood and is
near the country and because it
offers a variety of runs.
The club runs not so much for
the mere running, as for the fun
they can get out of it.
Along about* this time of the
year things are pretty dead and
the fellows get restless from having nothing to do. Cross-country
running is just the thing. It does
not take much time and a good
bunch comes out. The slowest
pace possible is taken and if a
new member of the club is not
"lame, halt or blind" he need not
worry about getting in with the
LOCALS
If I find anyone around here
the fifth hour—any darling that
has been excused—I will make it
warm for him," said Mr. Scherer.
Katherine Tinsley, on being
urged to * make a nomination
speech in one of the coming
senior meetings, exclaimed with
a tragic countenance, "O I have
not the ability."
Jeanette Gawne has entered
Shortridge from the Lafavette
High School.
